On a drizzly morning in north London today, the citys police commissioner introduced a new pilot scheme for the use of wearable cameras on patrolling police officers. Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, chief of the Metropolitan Police Service, noted that when his officers arrive at crime scenes, theyre oftentimes the only ones not recording events on video. The Metropolitan Police expects cameras will help it collect more evidence and process it faster, leading to \speedier justice,\ fewer cases falling apart, and more guilty pleas taking away the necessity for ever going to trial.
